Inter Livery Sports Highlights

GREAT XII SAILING CHALLENGE

Immediate Past Master Carolyn Boulter commissioned new caps for the sailing team and attended the Great XII competition with her consort, Hugh, and our Beadle, Michael Drummond. The annual event raises money for The Lord Mayor’s Appeal, but also provides a wonderful opportunity for members of the Great XII to get to know one another. Clothworker teams did not take a top place this year, but all who attended will have fond memories of the event.

Contact Captain Andrew Yonge if you are interested in participating in 2019.

GREAT XII GOLF COMPETITION

Clothworkers took third place in the Great XII Golf Competition at The New Zealand Golf Club this past April, where The Fishmongers’ Company hooked the cup. In May,

Clothworkers Charlie Hutchins and Justin Roberts stole the spotlight at The Dyers’ Company, also at The New Zealand Golf Club. Charlie won the Britten Salver, and Justin took the Bousfield Trophy. The pair then took the Mathieson Tankards. In July, Captain Timothy Bousfield led the team to another victory in the annual competition against the Scots Guards.

INTER LIVERY CLAY SHOOT

Clothworkers’ sent three teams of four to the event in May, including three new participants: Master-Elect John Coombe-Tennant, John Pemberton- Piggot and Ralph Anderson. Team captain Charlie Houston described 2018 as a ‘vintage year’ for the Clothworkers’, as the senior team won the flush with 77 out of 80 – an impressive victory as there were 110 teams competing. Champagne went to the senior team as well as to James Horne (senior team) and Ralph

Anderson ( junior team), who both scored above 60 out of 80 individually.

Clothworkers faced off against the Scots Guards for a golf competition at The Berkshire this past July. Major James R Kelly, Regimental Adjutant of the Scots Guards, wrote to congratulate the Clothworkers’ on their triumph in two matches, with one halved.

INTER LIVERY RIFLE SHOOT

This June event included four competitions: sniper rifle at 300 yards, target rifle at 900 yards, gallery rifle at 25 yards, and .44 black powder pistol at 15 yards. The ambitious Clothworkers hoped to maintain their first-place position from last year, but the competition was fierce.

After winning a glass tankard each for first place in the target rifle event, Edward Wates, Andrew Wates and Andrew John Stevenson Clarke managed a very credible second place out of 14 teams.

Those interested in joining the Inter Livery Clay Shoot next year (15 th May or 22 nd May) or the Inter Livery Rifle Shoot (31 st May) should contact Charlie Houston for information.

Master John Coombe-Tennant joined the Inter Livery Clay Shoot competition for the first time this past May.
